Palma airport has activated its emergency teams this afternoon due to the priority landing of a Ryanair plane that operated the route between Alicante and Växjö-Smaland in southern Sweden, and which had to be diverted due to technical problems.
The incident occurred around 15:00, when the Son Sant Joan control centre received an alert from a Ryanair plane, a Boeing 737-800 registered EI-DCR, which covered the route FR7429 between Alicante (ALC) and Växjö-Smaland (VXO) airport, in the south from Sweden, and that it has requested permission to divert and land in Palma (PMI) because they had detected technical problems.
At the airport, the air traffic controllers cleared traffic to allow a priority landing of the plane, and they activated their emergency services, which have been alert in case their intervention was necessary. Finally, the aircraft landed in Son Sant Joan without problems.
The nature of the problem is still unknown, and the plane is still on the Balearic island.
